If you decide that a complete Minecraft version switch doesn&rsquo;t fit your needs, we&rsquo;ll also cover how to configure cross-play on a Java edition server.<\/p><p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understanding-minecraft-versions\"><strong>Understanding Minecraft versions<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Minecraft Java Edition<\/strong> is written in Java and runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which is how Minecraft was initially programmed. It&rsquo;s very customizable and with tons of plugins and mods available. However, it uses more RAM and CPU, especially with many players or heavy modding, and is limited to PC players.<\/p><p><strong>Minecraft Bedrock Edition<\/strong> is written in C++ and was initially developed for systems that don&rsquo;t support Java, starting with Minecraft Pocket Edition for mobile players.<\/p><p>C++ is a more efficient game coding language &ndash; it runs faster, uses fewer resources, and performs significantly better on lower-end hardware. Bedrock is widely available and supports cross-platform play on devices like Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, and mobile devices.<\/p><p>Outside of the technical details, some core game mechanics also differ. The two best examples of this are:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Redstone behaves differently.<\/strong> In Bedrock, pistons react faster to redstone pulses, and some circuits, like quasi-connectivity, don&rsquo;t work the same or are entirely absent.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combat is drastically different.<\/strong> Bedrock has the old combat system, where you can spam-click efficiently, while Java has implemented attack cooldowns, which encourage proper timing.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>There are two main reasons why you might consider switching a server from Java edition to Bedrock edition:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Accessing a broader player base &ndash;<\/strong> the Bedrock edition has a much larger player count across multiple platforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More optimized server resources &ndash;<\/strong> a Bedrock edition server is roughly twice as efficient in handling server load as Java.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prerequisites-and-limitations\"><strong>Prerequisites and limitations<\/strong><\/h2><p>The first thing to understand is that while both are Minecraft, Java and Bedrock are technically two separate games running on different engines. Since these are separate games, there are limitations as to what you can move over:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You cannot migrate player data, as Java and Bedrock players differ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedrock does not support server plugins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Java mods will not work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need to convert your world data to move it over.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will need to reconfigure permissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>When moving a server from Java to Bedrock, you typically<strong> do not need to consider resources<\/strong>. For example, with 20 players, <strong>Java <\/strong>will run well with <strong>4GB RAM<\/strong> and <strong>2 vCPUs<\/strong>, while with <strong>Bedrock, <\/strong>you can run the same load with <strong>2GB RAM<\/strong> and <strong>1 vCPU.<\/strong> However, if you expect more players, ensure your server can handle the extra pressure.<\/p><p>\n\n\n<div class=\"announcement-block announcement-block--important\">\n            <span class=\"announcement-block__heading\">\n                <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                          d=\"M12 22.5C17.799 22.5 22.5 17.799 22.5 12C22.5 6.20101 17.799 1.5 12 1.5C6.20101 1.5 1.5 6.20101 1.5 12C1.5 17.799 6.20101 22.5 12 22.5ZM13.637 7.65198C13.637 6.74791 12.9041 6.01501 12 6.01501C11.0959 6.01501 10.363 6.74791 10.363 7.65198C10.5335 9.53749 10.875 13.383 10.875 13.383C10.875 14.0043 11.3787 14.508 12 14.508C12.6213 14.508 13.125 14.0043 13.125 13.383V13.38L13.637 7.65198ZM11.9927 15.714C11.3714 15.714 10.8677 16.2177 10.8677 16.839C10.8677 17.4603 11.3714 17.964 11.9927 17.964H12.0073C12.6286 17.964 13.1323 17.4603 13.1323 16.839C13.1323 16.2177 12.6286 15.714 12.0073 15.714H11.9927Z\"\n                          fill=\"#FEA419\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n                Important\n            <\/span>\n            <p class=\"announcement-block__content\">\n                <strong>Important!<\/strong><br>\nMake sure to back up both your server and world files, as making this change can result in losing your data.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-change-a-minecraft-server-from-java-to-bedrock\"><strong>How to change a Minecraft server from Java to Bedrock<\/strong><\/h2><p>To switch your server from Java to Bedrock, you&rsquo;ll need to stop your current Java Edition instance and create a fresh Bedrock Edition instance.

moving your Java world to Bedrock. There are two main options for doing this.<\/p><p>A quick and practical way to do this is simply using the same seed. Java and Bedrock use the same world generation algorithms, so if you don&rsquo;t care about keeping your builds, it&rsquo;s the easy way of doing it.<\/p><p>However, you must convert your world to move over player-made objects, such as buildings and chests. Multiple tools can help you do this, such as:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Universal Minecraft Converter (part of Universal Minecraft Tool)<\/strong> &ndash; a paid tool that includes Java-to-Bedrock world conversion and other editing features.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chunker <\/strong>&ndash; an open-source Minecraft world conversion tool. Microsoft also recommends this tool for world conversions and offers documentation for it.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"protip\">\n            <div class=\"protip__heading\">\n                <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path d=\"M1.49234 23.5024C1.23229 23.5024 0.972242 23.4024 0.782206 23.2123C0.562165 22.9923 0.452144 22.6822 0.502153 22.3722C0.562165 21.9221 1.14227 17.9113 3.00262 16.351C3.63274 15.8209 4.43289 15.5509 5.26305 15.5609C6.09321 15.5909 6.87335 15.9109 7.47347 16.4911C8.6937 17.6913 8.76371 19.6717 7.6435 20.9919C6.0832 22.8523 2.08245 23.4324 1.63237 23.4924C1.59236 23.4924 1.54235 23.4924 1.50234 23.4924L1.49234 23.5024ZM5.16303 17.5613C4.84297 17.5613 4.53291 17.6713 4.29287 17.8813C3.60274 18.4614 3.07264 19.9317 2.75258 21.242C4.06282 20.9219 5.5331 20.3918 6.11321 19.7017C6.55329 19.1716 6.54329 18.3814 6.0832 17.9213C5.85316 17.7013 5.5431 17.5713 5.20304 17.5613C5.19304 17.5613 5.17303 17.5613 5.16303 17.5613ZM11.7243 21.8821C11.4942 21.8821 11.2642 21.8021 11.0841 21.652C10.8541 21.462 10.7241 21.1819 10.7241 20.8819V15.9109L8.08358 13.2705H3.11264C2.81259 13.2705 2.53254 13.1404 2.3425 12.9104C2.15246 12.6803 2.07245 12.3803 2.12246 12.0902C2.19247 11.7102 2.84259 8.36953 4.70294 7.12929C6.33325 6.04909 8.96375 6.49918 10.244 6.80923C11.5442 4.96889 13.2546 3.4286 15.2349 2.33839C17.4553 1.11816 19.9858 0.518051 22.4963 0.498047C23.0464 0.498047 23.4865 0.948132 23.4865 1.49824C23.4865 5.0389 22.3763 9.97983 17.1753 13.7605C17.4853 15.0408 17.9354 17.6613 16.8552 19.2816C15.615 21.1419 12.2744 21.7921 11.8943 21.8621C11.8343 21.8721 11.7743 21.8821 11.7143 21.8821H11.7243ZM12.7245 16.181V19.6016C13.7146 19.2916 14.7948 18.7915 15.2049 18.1814C15.675 17.4812 15.605 16.091 15.385 14.9008C14.5248 15.3808 13.6346 15.8109 12.7245 16.181ZM9.66388 12.0302L11.9643 14.3307C13.1845 13.8306 14.3648 13.2204 15.485 12.5103C19.9358 9.51974 21.2361 5.60901 21.4561 2.53843C19.6157 2.67846 17.8254 3.20856 16.2051 4.09872C14.2847 5.14892 12.6544 6.68921 11.4942 8.54956C10.7841 9.65977 10.174 10.82 9.66388 12.0302ZM4.39289 11.2701H7.81353C8.1936 10.3599 8.63368 9.46974 9.11377 8.60957C7.92355 8.38953 6.51329 8.31952 5.81315 8.78961C5.19304 9.19968 4.70294 10.3099 4.39289 11.2701Z\" fill=\"#673DE6\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n                <p class=\"protip__title\">\n                    Pro tip                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <p class=\"protip__content\"> While Minecraft world converters do not transfer player data, they transfer items in chests.

crossplay<\/strong><\/h2><p>Want to invite Bedrock players to join your Java Edition server without giving up Java&rsquo;s powerful customization options? The good news is that you don&rsquo;t need to choose between them.<\/p><p>With the help of the <strong>GeyserMC<\/strong> plugin, you can make your Java server accessible to Bedrock players without converting the world or losing Java-specific features.<\/p><p>It works by opening a separate port for your server that allows Bedrock players to access it. It acts as a proxy between a Bedrock player and your Java edition server. It takes their Bedrock packets and converts them to Java packets for the server to understand, and any packets sent back get converted back to a Bedrock packet.<\/p><p>To implement it, you need a Java edition server running on Paper or Spigot.

While the two editions are built differently, there&rsquo;s enough flexibility to rebuild your setup, move your world, or even enable cross-platform play to keep both sides connected.<\/p><p>If Bedrock edition is better for your server or players, you have everything you need to make that transition. Whether you&rsquo;re starting fresh or carrying over your existing world, you have the tools &ndash; now it&rsquo;s just a matter of making the switch.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-switch-from-java-to-bedrock-faq\"><strong>How to switch from Java to Bedrock FAQ<\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744980781032\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can I switch from Java to Bedrock version on my server?<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, but it&rsquo;s not a direct toggle. Switching between these servers means stopping your Java edition server and spinning up Bedrock. However, you can transfer your world and a few of your server settings with some extra work.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744980785726\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Do I need to reinstall Minecraft to change the version?<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not quite. While you don&rsquo;t need to remove your Java edition server, you must stop it and start a fresh Bedrock edition server. You can remove Java afterward, but nothing&rsquo;s stopping you from keeping it, especially if you want to roll back quickly.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744980792320\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Will my world work after switching from Java to Bedrock?<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Not automatically. Java and Bedrock use different world formats, so you&rsquo;ll need a conversion tool like Chunker to transfer your world. Some structures and entities may not carry over perfectly, so testing the converted world before going live is essential.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you&rsquo;re aiming to support crossplay, reach more players, or just prefer Bedrock&rsquo;s performance on certain devices, moving a Minecraft [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":515,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_title":"How to change Minecraft version from Java to Bedrock","rank_math_description":"Learn how to switch your Minecraft server from Java to Bedrock, including installation, configuration, and world conversion steps for a smooth transition.","rank_math_focus_keyword":"how to switch from java to bedrock","footnotes":""},"categories":[22649,22644],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-127164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-server","category-vps"],"hreflangs":[{"locale":"en-US","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock","default":0},{"locale":"en-GB","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/uk\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock","default":0},{"locale":"en-IN","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/in\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock","default":0},{"locale":"en-CA","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/ca\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock","default":0},{"locale":"en-PH","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/ph\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock","default":0},{"locale":"en-MY","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/my\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock","default":0},{"locale":"en-AU","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/au\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock","default":0},{"locale":"en-NG","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/ng\/tutorials\/how-to-switch-minecraft-from-java-to-bedrock","default":0}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/515"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127164"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":127445,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127164\/revisions\/127445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/tutorials\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
